Breast Reconstruction
(Non-medical information of a general nature.)
Breast reconstruction refers to an operation or a series of surgical procedures performed to recreate a breast after the removal of one or both breasts. The most common cause of the need for reconstructive breast surgery is after cancer surgery for removal of a breast tumor. Less common causes for breast reconstruction include trauma to the breast or an abnormality which occured during breast development. Patients who have tested positively for the BRCA1 gene or BRCA2 gene / genes may opt for breast reconstruction after a preventative mastectomy (sometimes called a prophylactic mastectomy or preventative breast removal).
